Blackberry Users

6:00 this morning I called VeriZon Wireless and spent 30-45 minutes on the phone w/a rep learning how to use features on my Blackberry phone. Unbelievable! It was time well spent. I think it's a shame to have a device and not use it to its fullest. I have multiple email accounts. Now I can check and send email from three addys easily. Customized my signature line on emails sent from my device, and the list goes on.

If you have a Blackberry and are not using all the features, I'd encourage you to wake up early in the morning with a cup of java and place the call to technical support. There were things I was supposed to do when I bought the phone but forgot all about it. I call at 6AM becaue I don't like being placed on hold.

I just purchased Tetherberry for Blackberry last week and love it. I was able to do an esign using it and also used it to connect out in rural Bama and downloaded docs and then printed docs while driving to next appt.

It is great...Blackberry IMO are #1.

What is a Tetherberry? Is it some kind of special cable? Is there a monthly fee to use it??

You can also go to crackberry.com and read the Blackberry 101 series... that's where I learned everything.

I just upgraded to my second Blackberry this past weekend. LOVE IT!

I would suggest, though, that you avoid the Pearl models. If you're going to with a BB, get a proper unit with a full keyboard. I went from a Curve 8330 to a Curve 8530. The new trackpad is fantastic! Plus... wi-fi support! yay!

The BB Storm2 does wonders. Its a hand-held computer--all by touch
